Maybe  🔗 **Source:** [Maybe](https://ma.tt/2026/05/maybe/) I think I heard this parable somewhere in the [14 hours of Alan Watts lectures](https://www.audible.com/pd/Out-of-Your-Mind-Audiobook/B0161LXWGK) someone [recommended to me in 2017](https://ma.tt/2017/12/books-in-2017/), but here’s a beautiful 2-minute version I’d love to share for everyone going through something. I really appreciate the love and support I received after the [WP23 post](https://wordpress.org/news/2026/05/wp23/), and I do want to tell people I’m okay, the post was part catharsis and part giving voice to what I see and hear privately from people who aren’t public figures. On weekends, I like to look back on the week and find a silver lining or learning from things that were challenging. It helps reframe things. After [it was reported](https://www.therepository.email/wp-engine-and-automattic-trade-accusations-of-withheld-evidence-in-flurry-of-court-filings) that I had 21 hours of depositions over 3 days, people were like “wow that must have been terrible,” but actually, while the prep and process were intense, I found it energizing and I learned a ton. Will post more about that later. You never know where things will lead., Maybe, May 30, 01ksz09gseng8r7r1xdq36g4kt.
